Casa Guilherme de Almeida

The museum is housed in the residence where he lived from 1946 until the year of his death. The House of Paulo Guilherme de Almeida - whose main objective is to promote knowledge of the poet's work - offers the public intense cultural program related to the broad field of action of Guilherme, including courses, workshops, lectures, panel discussions and concerts.
One area of production of Guilherme de Almeida, with which he won special notoriety for the excellence of the results is the translation of poetry: the fact motivated the museum creation, a Center for Literary Translation Studies, whose goal is to offer activities related to theory and practice of translation, as well as the work of the poet.
Another purpose of the Center is to conduct issues, also focused on segments where Guilherme worked: several books have been published on the initiative of the House - including reprints of works by the writer - in collaboration with different publishers. After a closed period for restructuring and adaptation works, the museum reopened in December 2010, to the public.

The collection of Guilherme de Almeida House consists of a significant works of art (prints, drawings, sculptures, paintings), in large part offered to the poet by leading artists of Brazilian modernism, as Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Emiliano di Cavalcanti and Lasar Segall and Victor Brecheret.
The broad and diverse library of the writer is another attraction of the House, as well as the newspaper library and photo archive. Furniture and decorative objects, carefully and selectively collected by Guilherme and his wife, Baby de Almeida, make up a rare set.
